HEALTHY HOGs.-It has been pretty
definitely proved that filth, impure
wafer, and general want of care are
largely conducive to epidemics of So
called hog cholera, number of diseases
lung, intestinal, and blood diseases
going under that name when more than
usually fatal. Such water will be more
than likely to carry the germs of malig-
nant disease. The better plan would be
to use only the water of wells, even at
the expense of considerable extra labor
In addition 70 this, great care should be
used that all the surroundings be kept
perfectly clean. No less important is a
diversity of food. The man who places
his dependence on corn as diet for hogs,
ole and young, is generally the first to
suffer when malignant diseases become
epidemic. Swine are not only gregari-
Gus in their habits, but they are depend
ent upon variety of food, and cannot
be kept on one single article even as
well as other farm animals. The saga
cious man will easily understand the
necessity Of changing the grain food of
swine, as well as supplying daily
quantity of vegetable food. This may
consist of any plants the hogs will eat,
including clover. So far as roots are
concerned artichokes and potatoes will
be indicated, and ifswine can be allowed
to gather these for themselves SO much
the better. At the first symptoms of
disease the feeder should look to the
surroundings and remove all the animals
to clean pastures, separating the sick
from the well. When we find dropping
ears, low-hanging head, diarrhea, vom-
iting, rapid breath, and an aversion to
light, the hog is far on the road to
death.

SELECTING A COw.-A model useful
dairy COW may DE known at a glance by
an expert. She has fine, long head,
broad between the eyes, and thin,
wide muzzle; the eyes are large, and Of
mild expression; the neck is thin ard
long; the ears are thin and covered
within with a deep yellow skin; the
forequarters are light and thin, and the
whole body has much the shape of a
wedge, increasing in size to the rear :;
the legs are thin with fine bone; the
belly is large and deep, with great ca
pacity for food; the hack is broad and
straight, and the ribs are well rounded
towards the rear the bones of the rump
are wide apart; the tail is long and thin {;
the thighs are thin and set widely apart !;
the udder is large and full, especially
behind; the teats are of good size, and
set far apart upon broad, level udder,
and the milk-vein, so-called, which is
the large vein leading fIom the udder
and passing into the abdomen, and
which is an indication of the amount of
blood circulating through the milk
glands, and contributing to the milk Sc
cretiOn, should be full and tortuous in
its short course. A fine horn, deep,
yellow skin, and general elegance of
form, without any heaviness or beefiness
in any part, are also important inGica-
tions of good quality in COW for a diary.

The grand results of the Grange are
being observed by thinking men and
women all over the country. Elizabeth
Boynton Harbert, in late issue of the
Chicago Inter Ocean, makes the follow
ing truthful remarks, and those living
in rural districts where there are bright,
living Oranges, have likewise observed
similar effects:
owe hear from many sources great
surprise expressed at the rapid growth
of public sentiment in favor of an equal
ity of rights, and particularly in regard
20 tie fact that progress seems more
rapid in our agricultural districts than
in orr larger towns and cities, and we
are requested to suggest reason. We
think the answer may be embodied
in two words: 'rhe Grange

veloping in our country an organization
destined in the near future to effect re-
suits, startling in their character, to the

the past nineteen years the thoughtful
men and women from our farm homes
have convened together on an exact
equality to consult upon questions per-
tanning to the better methods of govern
ment in the school and State, may not
have attracted general attention, but
influences may have been set in motion,
incalculable in their results, and, as we
believe, incalculable for good

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

SHOULD HORSES BE WATERED BEFORE
OR AFTER FEEDING ?--The safe and suit
able time for watering horses depends Il
great deal upon what they have been
used to. Throughout Scotland farm
horses generally have as much water as
they care to drink upon returning from
work, and before being stabbed and fed.
Many horses, whether ridden or driven,
are allowed to slack their thirst at any
pool, stream, or trough passed on any
ordinary journey. And such practices
do not lead to more gastric arrangements
than the method still adopted by some
English horsemen of greater restriction
as to water. limiting especially the sup
ply when the horse is brought in from
work or is on a journey. Horses accus-
toned to such treatment, if allowed to
drink as much as they please, might
probably indulge too freely and overhli
their stomachs, unused 10 such liberal
libatiens. The rational practice is to let
horses have the opportunity of drinking
sufficiently often to prevent their being
very thirsty, and hence drink to excess.
In hot weather, and during active exer-
ton, horses enjoy and are the better for
a draught Of water at intervals of three
or four hours. On their return from
work they should have the opportunity
of drinking, and unless abstinence has
been protracted, or the animal much
fatigued or overheated, or constitution
ally washy and delicate, there is no
need to restrict them. Cold water does
no harm except in very cold, winterly
weather, when proportion of hot water
should be run into the horse troughs, or
the water in buckets, placed for several
hours in the stable. Refreshed by his
drink. the horse will feed better than if
he proceeds to meal thirsty and languid.
PostpOning water until after feeding
has, moreover, the serious disadvantage
of washing the recently wallowed,
imperfectly-digested food with abnor-
NAL rapidity onward through the intes-
tines, thus checking digestion, giving
rise TO irregular fermentation, and in
ducing collie and other ailments.
Although he may advantageously have
a few sips after feeding, a horse should
not then be allowed to gulp unlimited
quantities of water, and, indeed, does
not care 10 do So if he has had his drink
before he began his meal. For horses.
as well as for their masters, the best
arrangement is to have water for use in
reasonable amount at all times. This is
secured Inf many stables, where a slowly
filling trough of about gallon capacity
is fixed in the manger, and to this the
horse turns at intervals with avidity
before feeding. occasionally during mas
tication, to assist the moistening of bis
dry food, and with diminished zest to
wash his mouth on conclusion of his
meal.

cation that the Old Tacoma te6m wsuld

lo9e called bic boys together, laid che
matter before them. and asked them 20
consider the matter carefully, and de-
eide what action 10 take IN the matter.
After due elaboration, ths boys de-
sided TO send q challenge, which has
BEEN done. The pseliminaFies are yet
10 be arranged. IL II thought the race
will either be run At Olympia or at Port
Townsend. II ct the former place, the
connection will have 10 be made With
an engine, as there are no IRE plugs In
the city. Port Townsend, however, has
hydrants, and undoubtedly would be
chosen bat for It's distance from the
homes Of both the contestipR teams.
The Seattle team will be at q disad-
vantage, owing 10 the absence Of It's
foreman, Harry X. Strive, who is In
Victoria, bat Who would probably come
over il case the race Ia made. Il is un-
derssood that Dol. Jim Steel Is backing
